A man was killed when he rode his bike off a beach cliff Friday night in Santa Cruz, police said.

Police and emergency crews responded around 7:45 p.m. to West Cliff Drive and David Way and found an injured man below the cliff’s edge. Despite medical aid, the bicyclist died, Santa Cruz police said.

The man’s name has not been released.

On that stretch of West Cliff Drive, a paved path runs parallel to the roadway along the top of the 30-foot cliff. There is no fence; boulders cover much of the steep slope to the Mitchell Cove beach.

Police do not believe any other vehicles were involved in the crash, and foul play is not suspected.
